Westwood's Department of Recreation holds its annual Fishing Derby at Buckmaster Pond in Westwood, from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
There is no fee to enter the competition in the Youth Division (ages 15 and under), and there will be prizes for all.
For the Adult Division (age 16+), there is a $10 entry fee and cash prize.
With weather predicted to be in the 60s, rising to the low 70s in the morning, with overcast skies and just a small chance of rain, it looks to be a good day to be fishing!
Mist, with a high of 37 and low of 24 degrees. Overcast during the morning, mist in the afternoon, clear overnight.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
What is the citizen's petition about? I checked the town website, and the only information I could find on town meeting articles was from last year. The public hearing dates for 2026 are posted as February 24-25.
Apparently, you need to submit a public records request through the town's FOIA portal. What a shame, since it should have been posted to the town website upon certification of petition signatures.
Westwood Minute has obtained a copy of the petition and has added a short description of it to the article. A copy of the petition is attached below the article.
